Help me remember something from algebra!
I've got four points of data and I know the pattern that would create the next points, but I'm trying to remember the process for turning it into a properly written out function. I haven't had a math class in eleven years and I just want to remember how this works lol.
So the four points I have are at (1, 90), (2, 50), (3, 30), and (4, 20). The pattern is that each y value is half of the previous y value plus 5. Remind me of the process to figure out the function that creates this graph? I am so far detached from algebra due to non use that I don't even remember where to begin, I've been spitballing ideas around and I've at least recognized that there's a power of x greater than one involved as well as an inverse function, right? But then, a power greater than one would mean the value of y would begin to grow eventually and it never does from what I can see, it has an asymptote close to y = 10
